0:00 That is to say, in the Shema we see: Hear O Israel, Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is one. One - why do we say this "one"? The "one" is that the Names Havayah and Adnus should be equal. We have in mind the Names Havayah and Adnus, the unification of Havayah and Adnus, the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah. It comes out to eight letters. What do these eight letters symbolize for us? It is corresponding to: And it was on the eighth day. "On the eighth day" - this is when the offering must have a Shabbos pass over it, just as a Shabbos must pass over a baby at the bris milah. Only the times...
0:27 The secret of the eighth is that it is above nature, that from the side of nature, now he is not fit, and if they do it for him a day before, he could die, the day after the eighth day, the Shabbos day that passes, and already above nature there is salvation, there is everything. The eighth day is above nature, the eighth day is when Hashem redeems Israel. And then he says: "And it was on the eighth day" - Moshe called to Aharon and said to the elders of Israel, as if the secret of the eighth day, that Hashem, blessed be He... so that there will be the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, and the redemption will come, So Moshe called to Aharon and his sons and the elders of Israel. And then he says to Aharon,
0:51 "Take for yourself a calf" - I want to fix for you the golden calf, the sin of the calf... that Aharon needs to come to fix. "A young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, unblemished." The secret of the ram is the ram that was in the days of Avraham Avinu, That Avraham Avinu and Yitzchak, It is written that he saw the ram, but it is not written that he offered it. "And he offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son" - but it is not written that he slaughtered it. So here is the secret that he came to fix also that ram that will be slaughtered in the future, that ram that will be slaughtered in the future, and it will be... and all of it will go up as a burnt offering before Hashem.
1:22 This is all the offerings that were brought before Hashem, blessed be He. Therefore it is written: "to sacrifice before Hashem," a meal offering and a burnt offering and oil, for today Hashem appears to you. This is the verse that Hashem, blessed be He, appears to us. This is the secret of the redemption. And then he says: "And they took what Moshe had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting," which is the Beis HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, the Mishkan. And all the congregation came near and stood before Hashem. This is like "You are standing today before Hashem," which is the day of redemption, today, Today is Rosh Hashanah... before Hashem...
1:48 Because on that day that Hashem will redeem us, it is like Rosh Hashanah. Therefore it is written: "And they stood before Hashem." This is corresponding to "You are standing today," corresponding to Rosh Hashanah. And then: "And Moshe said to Aharon, Draw near to the altar and make your sin offering" - this is what you need to fix, "and your burnt offering, to atone for yourself and for the people," that Hashem wants them to forgive the iniquity of the golden calf. This is what delays the redemption. and make the offering of the people and atone for them. You shall atone for all that happened to the Jewish people...
2:13 as Hashem commanded, and Aharon drew near to the altar, and he slaughtered the sin offering calf that was his. This is corresponding to the golden calf, that he needed to fix. that we merit the complete redemption, to do teshuvah for the iniquity of the sin of the calf, to do what... "In rage You march through the earth," and for this, that we pained Zechariah, what we pained, the blood of Zechariah... the holy blood of Zechariah was spilled, to do teshuvah for Zechariah. To do teshuvah for having pained Moshe Rabbeinu in every generation.
